If it is not causing any symptoms...pain ect, then leave well alone.
If it causes pain, then it will need the attention of an Orthopaedic surgeon.

Arthritis is a disease caused by worn cartiliges on the bones. The more they are worked the more they wear.

Some say glucosamine and chondritin but I found the best thing for cartilage repair is eating geletine. Just try to avoid the sugar that often comes with it. I quite like the snakes.
